Lovely (Funk/Soul Beats)
March 15th, 2011 § 2 Comments
Lots and lots of lovely new music around these days. I’ve been absent listening to it all – these are some of the best tracks I’ve recently come across… they also happen to be some of the best tracks I’ve ever come across.
***
Fantastic Mr Fox – ‘Fool Me’. His EP Evelyn is an incredible mix of funk/soul mood and Gold Panda-esque electronica.
Wolf People – ‘Morning Born’. From their album Steeple. Buy it here.
Star Slinger – ‘Gimme’. This isn’t particularly new but it’s SO EFFING GOOD, please turn it up LOUD. He basically takes old 60s funk/soul tracks (can you spot a theme?) and turns them into modern electronic dancefloor masterpieces.
Pariah – ‘Detroit Falls’ & ‘Railroad’. The first one’s also a funk/soul mashup. Different style, still excellent. The second sounds really familiar to me and I’m not sure why… but maybe because it’s got a kind of early 2000s sound. Reminds me of early Moby or something.
As luck would have it, all the above are playing at a music festival in Yorkshire that everyone should go to – Beacons Festival.
